About Kunjanagar

Khairbari Forest is a small village located in the district of Jalpaiguri in the state of West Bengal in India. It has a population of about 519 persons living in around 91 households.

It already boasts of a leopard rescue centre where visitors can ride inside battery-driven cars and watch the animals roaming freely. This time, a similar enclosure is being built for the 11 Royal Bengal Tigers rescued from circus companies in Kolkata.

The centre, which will probably be named as Royal Bengal Tiger Rehabilitation and Research Centre, will be completed within two months. The Chief Conservator of Forests (Wildlife), North Bengal, said the Zoo Authority of India was funding the project.
The three tigers named Ram, Sita, Lakshmi and the others eight, have been kept in cages near the Holong bungalow area in Jaldapara Wildlife Sanctuary. Vaccination against viral diseases has already been administered to the tigers.
